British Starter Army (Waterloo Campaign)

At the centre of the army stand British Line Infantry wearing the distinctive Belgic Shako associated with the later Napoleonic campaigns. Renowned for their battlefield discipline and devastating volley fire, British infantry regiments formed resilient firing lines capable of withstanding repeated assaults under intense pressure.

Supporting them are Hanoverian infantry units, representing the important allied contingents that fought alongside Britain throughout the Napoleonic Wars. Their inclusion adds both historical authenticity and visual variety to the force.

The iconic Union Brigade heavy cavalry provides the army with powerful shock troops capable of launching dramatic charges against enemy formations. Backed by a Royal Horse Artillery 9-pounder cannon, the force also benefits from fast-moving artillery support ideal for dynamic battlefield deployments.
